I Love Regina.

Regina Spektor's new album is blowing me away one airy, heavenly song at a time.

Enjoy her video for Laughing With:

My Life in Lyrics, 1.

Billy Talent

Have you ever heard a song or, more specifically, a lyric, that pinpoints you or where you are in life just perfectly? I'm hearing more and more these days that appear to have been written with me in mind.



from River Below by Billy Talent:
I'm sick and
I'm twisted;
I'm broke and you can't fix it.
Don't make me,
'Cause I'll do it.
Red blooded and we'll all go,
Into the river below.
I'm running from the inferno.
They'll think I'm insane but,
Ya'll all know my name.

You can hear this song in it entirety here.

What are some lyrics or, a song, that you identify with?

This will be a regular feature.

OR-E-O, Ohhhh...

Remember the song I Have Confidence from The Sound of Music and how, as Maria is leaving the abbey to travel to the home of Captain Von Trapp, she sing-speaks the line

A captain with seven children. What's so fearsome about that?

Well, I misheard that line, if you will, for many years, misintreperting it as:

A Captain with seven children, what's a fearsome RUBBER BAT?

..I would sing out loud in that manner too, until a fellow SOM lover corrected me as we sat in her living room one evening watching it with a big bowl of extra butter popcorn between us..(that was pre- all natural eating, mind you)

Here's a rather funny example of such a misunderstanding but, on a bit of a larger scale:
Gospel Subtitles.

In the same vein..
I've always been adamant about the fact that as the monkeys in The Wizard of Oz are marching up the stairway of the castle, they are most definitely chanting:
OR-E-O, Ohhhh...
Am I right or...am I right?

So, has this happened to any of you?
If so, what song and what did you think it said only to find out much later, perhaps embarrassingly, that you were mistaken?
